December 31st - Dr. Stephen R. Covey & The Essence of Leadership for the 21st Century

Use the arrow to expand or collapse this section

For over three years, I have shared the essence of hundreds of people from all walks of life, in industry, health care, sciences, philosophy, theology, and beyond. Every one of those thought leaders has shared the same message in their own way. Humanity has reached a tipping point: a point where change will continue to accelerate, a time where the world is interconnected and interdependent and air, water and energy know not of artificial boundaries established by men; a time where the massive changes will last well into 2020; and the only solution is to throw out all previously held axioms and beliefs that inhibit our progess. Hence, the quote from Dr. Covey's book, the Eight Habit, summarizes this point nicely by saying, "The call of this new era in human history is for greatness; it's for fulfillment, passion, execution and significant contribution."

Questions discussed in this inteview: What is the new world order? Why is the world operating on a broken, outdated map? What is moral authority? How does a corporation define it's purpose in the 21st century? Does a family need a mission statement?

Pt 1: Dr. Stephen R. Covey and the new world map
Pt 2: Dr. Stephen R. Covey and the four leadership imperatives
Pt 3: Dr. Stephen R. Covey and developing a mission statement
Pt 4: Dr. Stephen R. Covey and the four assumptions

Use the arrow to expand or collapse this section

At some point in our lives we inevitably face the essential questions of life and living: who am I, what relationships matter most and what is most important to me in life? During this show, JD interviews Jonathan Ellerby, Spiritual Program Director at Canyon Ranch, and author of Return to the Sacred, by Hay House. JD and Jonathan discuss the essence of spirituality and religion, sacredness and happiness and the simple steps we can all take to help us get unstuck in moments of crisis or despair. Jonathan explains the process of spirituality, the essence of life that is innate to all of us, and how it differs from religion and can improve our vitality, resilience and health. JD's favorite quote from Jonathan, "All feelings want is to be felt". How profound and yet so simple. So what do we do about helping those feelings?

Use the arrow to expand or collapse this section

"The Axe Murderer has arrived and he is trying to split me in half with a six-inch blade. As he slices between my shoulders the pain is so excruciating it is beyond words. I let out a blood-curdling scream, he swings again, and again and the screams are piercing my ears. I stagger out of the bathroom screaming and reaching my arms over my head trying to pull the axe out. I am unaware of my wife who has come running to my rescue. By now the screaming is existential, I am out of my body, someone else is writhing and screaming, not me..." So goes part of the story of what it was like to break my neck. Listen to this show and here the valuable lessons I learned and how they apply to you in your life. Read the full excerpt from my story.
